26!

Yesterday was my 26th birthday and I feel rather strange today. I liked being 25 and hate to say goodbye to now be labelled with another number that comes even closer to 30. I mean, 30!!??
The best thing about birthdays is the attention you get. Basically its just another day, no different from any other day of the week, the month or the year. If cell phones really do cause tumors, I think I will get one just from this day as my phone has not been quiet all day. Even my 3 year old nephew finally accepted to come talk on the phone (he never wants to with anyone), my auntie sang Happy Birthday most beautifully and others kept it a bit more modest with a chat. Even only for this I love birthdays.
My flatmates bought me a really cool new shirt. It looked suspiciously alot like the grey one I had which they turned pink in the laundry few weeks ago. Nevertheless it was really sweet of them and great that they remembered my birthday so early in the morning!! The best present came from my 2 girl friends in Belgium. We grew up together and still see eachother very regulary when I am in Belgium. We go dancing, to our favo pub with the most handsome waiters in the universe, to see a movie, go shopping, or just hang out at my parents house or one of their houses. They have visited me several times in Barcelona and they also came to Seville as soon as I moved here. They collected pictures of the 3 of us from travels or nights out, the prettiest or most fun-memory related pictures, and had them made into a big double A4 calender. I think it was one of the best gifts I have ever had!!!!
